In Christianity it is believed that Jesus Christ was the savior to all humanity and was sent to Earth by his father (God) to pay for the sins of all mankind. In Judaism on the other hand, Jesus was merely a prophet. Both Christianity and Judaism were established in Israel. Christianity was founded around 30 AD in contrast to Judaism which started around 1000 BC. Although a few sacred readings and the form that followers pray are similar in both religions they are also slightly different.
Adherents believe meaning can be found in their response to evil and suffering. A principal belief of Christianity is that God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, as a human to model how to be truly human and to reach full potential as an adherent. Adherents believe Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary through the Immaculate Conception after Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to bring her the news.

Others, including the man who was healed from blindness, were saying that he (Jesus) is a mighty prophet. The healed man stood for the truth and was turned out of synagogue because the truth angered its rulers. At last, the healed man was found by Jesus who told him that Jesus was the son of God. The man believed and felt to his knees to worship Christ. The author believes that the healing took place because she believes in Jesus Christ and the fact that the story was described in Bible.
The purpose of the resurrection was not to prove that Christ was who He claimed to be rather it was necessary. A sign like raising Lazarus was not for any purpose except to help those who doubted as Thomas did to believe. [1]The apostle Paul went so far in emphasis as to argue that if there is no resurrection, there is no Gospel. All that we teach and preach today would be pointless if it had not been for the resurrection, unlike a “sign” that was not necessary for our salvation. I am not saying this because of the importance of Christianity, I am simply pointing out a fact of the difference in the two.
It guides them to make the correct ethical decisions in life fulfilling their role as Christians. Ethics is the decision between right and wrong influenced heavily by beliefs and responsibilities of an adherent. Through the Bible, teachings by Jesus through parables such as the ‘Good Samaritan’ educate them on the way they should behave in everyday situations. In this parable, a man is neglected by a priest and a Levite but is helped by a Samaritan, a person who was disliked in that time.

The importance of integrity isn’t for integrity’s sake, but rather for the chance of someone to put their faith and trust in
Jehovah Witnesses Jehovah Witnesses The religion of Jehovah Witnesses dates back to the late 1800’s. A man named Charles Taze Russell created a group called International Bible Students Association in 1872. Charles Taze Russell had a hard time believing what was being taught in the traditional Christianity. He did not believe in bad people going to hell and being tormented for all eternity, nor did he believe that the Father (God), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit are all in one. Jehovah’s witnesses are more commonly associated with being a cult.
BIBL 110-DO8 LUO Prof. William Floyd Biblical Worldview Essay Paul wrote the book of Romans to teach Christians of that area a godly view of life. Paul is sharing the way God wants us to view nature, our identity, our relationships, and how to deal with culture.

Especially within the Gospels of the New Testament, there are many verses from the Paul to the various churches and their members about being “kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). There are even direct quotations from Christ himself to the disciples and followers on how Christians are to treat even their enemies with respect and hospitality like in Luke 6:27-28, Jesus says “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those that curse you, pray for those who mistreat
